Study shows that activity in the subthalamic nucleus reflects action outcomes and consequent adaptation in humans; this can be modified through bursts of electrical stimulation, with potential to ...

Researchers have identified a new neural circuit in the brain which produces a strong sense of discomfort when activated. The discovery also allows them to show for the first time that the subthalamic ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus has been shown to improve motor symptoms associated with Parkinson disease (PD), but the mechanism of this action is unclear. Previous studies ...

Scientists have identified a link between Huntington's disease and dysfunction of the subthalamic nucleus, a component of the basal ganglia, a group of brain structures critical for movement and ...

The subthalamic nucleus is a pea-sized brain area that controls our movements. These motions have been hampered in Parkinson's patients: researchers believe the subthalamic nucleus, which normally ...

Neurostimulation of the subthalamic nucleus reduces levodopa-related motor complications in advanced Parkinson's disease. We compared this treatment plus medication with medical management. In this ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 19 (May 10, 2022), pp. 1-10 (10 pages) Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is ...

The neurostimulator, also known as the implantable pulse generator (IPG), is a pacemaker-like device powered by a small battery that is implanted subcutaneously near the clavicle. It contains a ...

Jan Wessel, at the University of Iowa, led a team that identified a brain region involved in how attention or thought is diverted. In addition to its biological significance, the finding could help ...
